Matthew 5:3-12

Matthew 5:3-12
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

There is so much on my heart lately I can’t even begin to name them all. These verses speak to me because of those in my heart. They are confused, torn, hurt, and unable to think clearly. I feel for them because I am right there too. I pray for guidance to help them and to let God guide my words when I speak/write. I pray He continues to work through me and that I can be a blessing to them in their time of need.

A journey with a destination. The destination of a student reaching her dreams of becoming a poet and photographer in a world where people are called crazy for taking a leap of faith. This blog will keep an account of my adventures along the way, whether it be triumph or dissapointment.

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep'. In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
